Everything about this particular app oozes sexiness. Who would have thought a simple tool converting various units of measurement including angles, areas, currencies, data rates, data sizes, densities, forces, lengths and many more besides would offer such a sleek experience.

It’s Your Turn

In the lower half of the screen is a dial you rotate with your finger until you find the desired conversion tool. Not only does the wheel animate – it also behaves like a true mechanism. Each turn produces a ‘click’ sound and the central ring within the dial rotates in the opposite direction to which you are turning.

This provides a sense that there could actually be movable cogs and parts hidden inside.

Converting the Masses

ConvertBot encompasses a huge selection of unit conversion options and ordinarily you might expect a long list to select the required tool. By using the rotating dial, ConvertBot removes all of the hassles when attempting to locate the conversion calculation you are seeking and enhances the experience by using smooth animations and a fine choice of sounds.

Money Matters

Currency conversion is a little bit more complicated as the values needed to calculate the result change daily. ConvertBot is smart enough to automatically update on each occasion the app is launched, although this can be disabled if you are concerned about your mobile data plan usage running over it’s monthly limit.
